#Hotspot mode aka #tethering works very well on #Pinephone with #Mobian. #Librem5 then has a decent Internet according to #librespeed speed test! #GNU #Linux

Time to abandon the #smartphone walled gardens of #Android and #iOS

@ozmik Which one do you like best so far? I mean obviously the pinephone has a worse SoC, but the fact it can run so much more software and has a upcoming keyboard addon with a 6,000 mAh battery inside is pretty unique

@BrianA Actually #Librem5 can run all software that #Pinephone runs, and even more since it's faster. #Mobian and #postmarketOS are already ported to it, and other operating systems, I'm sure, will follow. See the details here: https://forums.puri.sm/t/comparing-specs-of-upcoming-linux-phones/6827

The keyboard mod is really promising indeed. Although one could also use a Bluetooth keyboard instead, which works with all devices

Expect more about #Librem5vsPinephone from me. In short, #Librem 5 is a higher quality product with more #freedom

@ozmik @BrianA Yeah, in my experience taking a distro for one of those devices and making it run on the other is usually trivial. So far the only issue I couldn't resolve myself in 30 minutes while playing with various OSes was Lomiri not liking etnaviv resulting in completely garbled screen output (which smells like a bug in Lomiri/Mir)

@dos @ozmik @BrianA
I have been tempted to try and get the openSUSE running on the Librem5. There is a pinephone image already so this sounds very promising. Not sure where to start thought... Is the best path just to try and flash the pinephone image and try and try to fix what breaks?
